An ultrashort pulse refers to a light pulse with an extremely short duration, typically on the order of femtoseconds (10⁻¹⁵ seconds) to picoseconds (10⁻¹² seconds). These pulses are generated using techniques such as mode-locking in lasers, which allows the beams of light to combine and create very short bursts of energy.
